Jasmine's POV
We finished eating and left the restaurant while Alex continued to throw tantrums about how I made him spend a lot of money and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Wait a minute, if you don't like spending too much money then what do you do with all the money you've gained all this while?" I asked.
"Just this and that" he said and stopped to look at him.
"This and that?" I asked raising my brows he nodded.
"I actually pity the unlucky guy that will end up being your boyfriend" he said.
"What! Unlucky guy?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, he better start saving up his money cause you are gonna suck him dry."
"When the time comes and I finally get a boyfriend, he's gonna be the luckiest man in the world for having me" I said and he scoffed.
"Yeah yeah, maybe."
"Wait, how do you I don't have a boyfriend in the first place?" I asked as we entered the car.
"If you had a boyfriend you would've called him immediately you arrived here, but I've not seen you on the phone yet" he said and I quickly remembered.
"Oh my God, I haven't call Megan yet, I can't believe I actually forgot."
"Who's Megan?" Alex asked.
"My cousin" I said as I quickly took my phone and dialled her number while Alex continued driving to the hotel.
We got to the hotel and Alex parked the car while I struggled with the bags of everything we bought.
"Aren't you gonna help?" I asked Alex.
"Why should I? I paid for everything must I help you take them to the room too?" He said and I just gave him a deadly stare.
"Fine, I'll help" he said as he collected some of the bags from me and we entered into the hotel.
"Doctor Alexander Sanchez?" Someone called from behind and we turned to see a young man wearing glasses.
"It is you" the man said excited. "I'm so honored to have finally meet you" he said as he shook Alex's hand.
"Yeah, ummm... I still don't know you" Alex said.
"Oh right, my name is Oliver Gonzalez, a Neurosurgeon from the Philippines, I've always wanted to meet the you Doctor Alex, you are my role model" the man said.
"Nice to meet you Doctor Gonzalez" Alex said.
"The pleasure is all mine, I hope we'll get to know each other and become close friends from this trip" he said and Alex nodded.
"Sure" Alex said.
"Is this your wife?" He asked pointing at him and I looked at him wide-eyed
"Wife?" Alex and I said.
"Well, you guys are wearing a couple t-shirt" he said
"Oh no, we are just wearing it for fun" I said.
"Yeah, she isn't my wife, she's my assistant surgeon, Jasmine" Alex said.
"Ohh I am sorry for misunderstanding then, should I help you with the bags?" He asked.
"No, thank you, we'll take our leave now, see you later" Alex said and we started walking away.
"Seems like someone's becoming a celebrity" I said.
"You are just noticing?" He asked and I laughed.
We got to our suite and I went to my room with my clothes.
I arranged everything and slumped on the bed.
I am so tired and it's already getting dark.
I should change and get some sleep.
We ordered breakfast and ate in the sitting room.
"We'll be having a meeting today at The HSBC hall" Alex said.
"The HSBC hall?" I asked.
"Yeah, there'll be a car to take us there, the meeting is by 10 so you should probably start getting ready now" he said and I nodded.
We finished breakfast and I went to my room to get dressed.
We get to the venue some minute before the appointed time.
Alex was busy talking with other surgeons while I went inside the hall to have a seat.
"It's the vicious and bold pretty lady, Jasmine right?" Ryan said as he sat beside me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked curtly.
"What else, I'm here to attend the meeting, I am a Neurosurgeon after all" he said.
"Obviously but I meant, what are you doing seating beside me?"
"Why? You aren't comfortable?" He asked.
"How can I be comfortable when an asshole like you is sitting beside me."
"Oh my, you just broke my heart" he said as he gripped his chest and I scoffed.
"How can you live with yourself when you know that a 6 month old baby lost his life because of you, you totally ruined a family and you don't care" I said.
"Well, everyone is meant to die one day so what's the big deal if the baby died a little early" he said and I shook my head.
"I wonder how you ever became a doctor."
"I might be a little mischievous but I am skilled sweetheart, so why don't you consider changing side, come work for me" he said and I laughed.
"The guts you have Ryan, asking me to work for you" I said.
"Well I am just trying my luck" he said with a shrug.
"Well, sorry to disappoint you but that's never gonna happen, even in your dreams" I said but he didn't say anything, he just stared at me.
"If you are done with what you have to say, it's better you stand up and stay the hell away from me than staring at me with those creepy eyes" I said.
"You know what, I find you interesting Jasmine, very interesting" he said as he slowly stood up and left.
"What a jerk."
Alex came in some minutes later and sat beside me.
Then the President of the Organization came in along with Emma and the meeting started.
"Welcome to 57th Gathering of the World Federation of Neurological Societies" the President said.
The meeting was done and they announced that there'll be a welcome party that will be organized at each hotel tonight.
A driver drove us back to the hotel and we went to our suite.
I sat on the couch while Alex went to his room.
Minutes later, Alex dressed in a casual wear and came out of the room.
"Are you going somewhere?" I asked.
"Just going down for a bit to talk with the other surgeons, wanna come?"
"Nope, I've heard enough boring talks for today" I said.
"Boring talks? Was the meeting boring for you?"
"Don't get me wrong but honestly, it was a bit boring, most of what they talked about was how the organization was built" I asked and Alex shook his head.
"You find educative talks boring, I wonder how you managed to be the best student in your medical school" he said.
"I just have a pretty high IQ" I said with a smile and he scoffed.
"Happy resting then" he said and left.
